Manochahal’s kin get back land

Tarn Taran, March 31

After a 28-year legal battle, the family of Baba Gurbachan Singh Manochahal has got back about three-kanal land at Naushehra Pannuan from the district police.

The police have vacated the possession and the police post, which was working from the baba’s land, was now shifted to Government Senior Secondary School at the village. The school building had been declared unsafe and was facing closure.

The school was working from a new building. ASI Jaspreet Singh said the police were renovating the building on its own as the department had released no grant.

Baba Gurbachan Singh Manochahal was the self-styled commandant of the Bhindranwala Tiger’s Force of Khalistan. — OC
